Criminals have no fear or respect for the NYPD. There was a time not long ago when you had to be out of your mind to walk around NYC carrying an illegal firearm, because it was likely you would be stopped by Police and you would go to jail. Now a NYPD Officer has to be out of their mind to stop someone. CCRB can ruin a career, if no gun is found and they stop someone. So more criminals carry guns because they have no fear of the NYPD, but they do fear all the other criminals walking around with guns.

Tell that to Eric Garner, Akai Gurley, Adrien Schoolcraft, and countless others.

Will, There should be no equivalency tests for outright criminal acts of any sort. Wrong is wrong. What seems to be going on in all parts of our city is cause for concern to all.

None of those cases have anything to do with this at all. Eric Garner was arrested 29 times for selling cigarettes in front of a bodega which complained. He refused to go peacefully with responding cops and he expired of a heart attack at 300 plus pounds while needlessly wrestling with police There were no guns involved in his case. Akai Gurley was in an apartment house stairwell when a police gun went off because of an unrelated stairwell check. Gurley’s case was a freak accident. You are mixing apples and oranges here. Street Crime frisking people for illegal firearms is not related to anything you are discussing and does nothing to solve this issue.

Who are you? How dare you twist facts.
Eric Garner was suffocated to death.
And selling cigarettes — big deal.
What kind of human being are you?
Do you not have a heart?

Seriously? You question if Sam Katz has a heart and what kind of human being she is because she pointed out the irrelevance of those cases when it comes to illegal hand guns? Stop with the shaming just because someone doesn’t agree with you. How dare you!

I’m not sure if you could have found 3 people with less to do with the conversation than the ones you listed. But you did illustrate how irrational the Anti Police movement is. It is this mentality has turned NYC into a city that is much less safe than it should be.

When an 11th-grader drove her SUV into me an officer that happened to be there saved my life by getting me to a helicopter and airborne in under three minutes. Thank you for your service, officers.

It ceased to be a verbal dispute when he fired a gun. Then it was a gunfight. And he SHOULD be in jail now.

He should be, and the only reason that he isn’t is because they haven’t caught him yet.

If you voted for Hochul it meant that you have no problem with this type of thing

Utter nonsense. Our city is awash in illegal guns because Republicans refuse to enact common sense gun legislation.

It does not mean that. I voted for Hochul. And the rest of us who did need to push her and the legislature to change the bail law, for starters. I think the guy in the article was acting in line with what Zeldin wanted – i.e. people walking around carrying. and if carrying, eventually using, amirite?

Don’t be ridiculous, obviously Hochul voters want this guy arrested. When NYPD track him down (hopefully), I suppose you’ll be happy to eat your words?

Lucky for him he was not in the Times Square area. He could have been severely reprimanded because there are all those signs that say “Gun Free Zone.” 🙄🤦‍♀️

I now avoid Amsterdam avenue between 68 and 62 at all costs.

Just a few years ago, our family used to walk there day and night, it was on our way to our friends place at 60th street. Both families now take Broadway.

People talk about how few guns were found on suspects when stop and frisk was the norm. But there are no statistics about how many criminals left their guns at home for fear of being caught with them while walking the streets. You have to wonder how many incidents like this could have been prevented because of stop and frisk.

Do you know how many tax paying, church going citizens were frisked during stop and frisk? Hundreds of thousands. That was the policy, scare everyone so a few might, emphasis on might, not carry a gun on them. Kids threatened with having their arms broken by plain clothes police officers and charges trumped up just for productivity stats. It was ruled unconstitutional.

And when the cops found weed, but no guns, on those illegally stopped and frisked, the NYPD would bust them as much as the law allowed.
